A binary mixture with components A and B is to be separated in a distillation column to obtain 95 mol% A as the top product. The binary mixture has a constant relative volatility αAB = 2. The column feed is a saturated liquid containing 50 mol% A. Under the usual simplifying assumptions such as constant molal overflow, negligible heat loss, ideal trays, the minimum reflux ratio for this separation is ______ (rounded off to one decimal place).
